Being territorial has nothing to do with sex, my RR troph group the female controls the whole middle of the tank. I hadn't paid much attention the first time as I didn't know who was who after I dropped 30 in there and figured it was a male doing his thing until I saw her with a mouth full. You have to vent, no behavior, color or fin stuff, venting only.

Just name one "Cynthia" and you will be OK . JUST KIDDING!!! Will you be able to get more from your LFS? They are a good size. If your local LFS can't get some give Mastiffman a shout and I'm sure he can hook you up with some fry. Not sure if TroPhish still has his group? Either way you can't go wrong.

Ok, Im glad I took these pictures then. Thanks, now I just need few more females and a male. This is fun!

Definitely makes sense to know the ratio.

Are you looking for Adults or fry? I have about 110+ F1 fry growing out right now.... I would say close to 60 will be ready to ship within 2 weeks. I think half of the 60 are spoken for by a current and active member at this point.

Don't worry too much about the little ones getting beat up. I just added 20 Ikola to my 2, 3+" Ikola and 19 Bulu Point to my 8, 3+" Bulu's and have had no issues. I got both groups from MastiffMan just over 2 weeks ago now. I added a bunch of hiding spaces as recommended by MM. I have not witnessed the larger ones going after the fry at all. The fry are currently swimming all over the tank and not hiding much at all. I was concerned too but as it turns out it was all for naught. I just wanted to share my experience. In a larger tank like yours there will be more room for them to be ignored. My Ikola's are in a 75 and my Bulu's are in a 90. Good luck with whichever route you decide to go.
